Church backs end to Cuba trade embargo call
Senator Frank Church urged relaxing the self-defeating Cuba embargo saying Castro will not alter his Africa policy or ties with the Soviet Union. He noted momentum from Carter and Castro, including a fishing agreement and diplomat exchange, and called for a step by step study to ease the 1962 embargo, estimating $600 million in two way trade if lifted.

Kennedy seeks compromise on criminal law reform
Senator Edward Kennedy aims to preserve a liberal conservative coalition to pass a sweeping reform of U.S. criminal law. Disagreement over marijuana decriminalization tests unity as Bayh pushes for a higher decriminalization level and a potential fine based infraction, threatening conservative backing for the overall bill. Kennedy opposes penalties yet will back Hatch to protect the coalition if Bayh undermines support.

Federal ERA claim of equal rights for homemakers rights
A federal International Women's Year Commission study argues homemakers have far fewer rights than husbands under state law. It says alimony and child support are often unavailable or hard to collect, widows lack inheritance protection, and several states impose gendered property rules. The commission cites examples from multiple states of inequitable treatment in support, property, and divorce law.
